an the Rage Amonx the Ladies' Now
Personal and General Mention.
The early part Of last week was devoted
to celebrating thu glorious Fourth, which
was duly observed by all Butteites. who
give q personal aud special recognition te
the Fourth of July when it arrives. Th.
ladies seemed to take an unusual interest
in this Fourth, most Of them enjoying both
the day and night festivities, SO that sinct
the exertion is all over they seem content
to rest for a few days, and the social world
is becoming duller every day. A good many
have already gone out of town for the
summer, and those who are at home will
doubtless be of on camping trips and nu'
merous places of resort, so that in a few
weeks less than a small chip load of those

Why they should shut up shop altogether

difficulties clear away and and the full
moon floats in a cloudless sky. Mile. Rhea,
the charming French actress, was one Of
the attractions last week, and although she
was not greeted by as large audiences as OF
her first appearance, yet many OF our most
prominent people attended nightly and
thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated her
artistic eminence. Miss Edna Courtney be-
gins a weeks engagement tomorrow even
ing at the Grand Opera House, and as her
repertoire consists of plays entirely new to
Butte audience, there is no doubt a
genuine treat is in store for them. The
Mining Engineers from the American Insti-
tute and their ladies will pay the Silver
City a visit this week. Quite an elaborate
programme. including q banquet, etc, has
been arranged, and q gala time is antici-
pated.
HORSE BACK RIDIN
has become very popular with Butte ladies
this summer; they are enthusiastic about
the exercise and declare there is nothing
equal to it for gaining health and giving
pleasure. The saddles in vogue just now
are the English leaping saddle, and that
which is simply known as the English sad
de. They are shown in plain and fancy
and various mountings, but those
of oak-colored leather are mostfashionable.
Cloth habits made rather short, trousers
to match and basques as simple as posi-

The hair should be closely braided and
close to the head, and the hat,
either a beaver or Derby, is secured by a
back of the hair. During the recent

of quiet firtations have been INDUCED in.

strolls over the mountains, don't you

and that no other was evr r so successful in
this noble (?) enterprise as she. People
speak of her as q "born firt" and she is
